"Okay, business class is three hundred and twenty yuan per day. How many days will you be staying?"
Xu Muqing heard this, took out her wallet from her bag, and pulled out three hundred and twenty yuan in cash. "We'll stay for one night."
The staff member took the money, confirmed it was not counterfeit, and gave Xu Muqing a room card. "Here is your room card, please keep it safe. If you need anything, you can call the front desk directly from the phone in your room!"
"Thank you!" Xu Muqing took the room card. It showed the room was on the 16th floor, room 2036.
Liu Yifeng saw the room number on the card and smiled, "We're in the same one. It's good to have company, let's go up together!"
The group then took the elevator to the 16th floor. Just as they were about to return to their rooms to rest, Song Mama suddenly ran out of her room, shouting anxiously, "Help! Save my son!"
Liu Yifeng was not one to meddle in other people's affairs, but seeing Song Mama so frantic, he couldn't help but ask, "Song Mama, what happened to your son?"
Lost and helpless, Song Mama saw Liu Yifeng as a lifesaver. She hurried to his side, grabbing his arm and anxiously saying, "My son has fainted, please save my son!"
Upon hearing that Song Yicheng had fainted, Liu Yifeng immediately entered their room and saw Song Yicheng indeed lying unconscious on the floor, his face ashen, looking quite unwell!
He dared not move Song Yicheng and could only try to pinch his philtrum to see if he could wake him up, asking at the same time, "Did you call 120?"
Song Mama shook her head. "No, as soon as I saw my son faint, I immediately opened the door to seek help. I happened to run into you. Dad Liu, it was my fault before. I shouldn't have targeted you and your son. You must save my son!"
"Song Mama, please calm down. Agitation won't solve anything. Looking at your son's condition, you should call 120 quickly. Time is of the essence!" Xu Muqing said from the side.
Song Mama looked at the unfamiliar Xu Muqing and didn't ask many questions. She hastily took out her phone, her hands trembling as she opened it and dialed 120.
The call was soon connected, but being her first time in such a situation, her mind was like mush, unable to articulate the events completely, and she couldn't even clearly state the address.
The more this happened, the less able she was to provide the hospital with a clear address and room number.
Liu Yifeng, whose pinching of the philtrum had no effect, directly snatched her phone and accurately stated their current location and the general situation.
120 immediately dispatched an ambulance. After hanging up, Liu Yifeng asked, "Song Mama, why did Song Yicheng faint out of the blue?"
He glanced at the large stack of test papers and textbooks on the table and had a strong hunch that the child had fainted from exhaustion.
Song Mama shook her head in a daze. "I don't know either. This child was just doing his homework and reading, then suddenly said he felt dizzy. Before I could react, he fainted."
"He's been working very hard filming for programs and competing. He finally has a day off, and you should have let his brain relax. Keeping him in a state of high-intensity study like this would exhaust even an iron body."
If it were earlier in the day, Song Mama would have surely retorted harshly to Liu Yifeng's words. But now, with her son lying unconscious, all she felt was fear and helplessness, and she could only nod repeatedly, admitting her mistake.
Xu Muqing, who didn't know Song Mama, curiously asked Xia Qianqian beside her, "Is this child also participating in the 'The Brain' program?"
"Yes, he's one of them!"
After hearing Xia Qianqian's words, Xu Muqing couldn't help but glance at the books on the table, understanding why Liu Yifeng had spoken that way.
This mother was treating her child like a tireless beast of burden. He was taking so many exams and reading so many books even while traveling for competitions.
She considered herself a strict parent, but compared to this parent, she thought she could be described as kind.
At this moment, a hotel staff member also walked in. Seeing Song Yicheng lying unconscious on the floor, they immediately asked if 120 had arrived.
Song Mama, now like a mad dog, snapped at anyone she encountered. She yelled at the staff member, "My son fainted in your hotel. If anything happens to him, I'm not done with you!"
"Ma'am, please calm down. This is something our hotel also wishes had not happened. However, the child fainting is due to his physical condition and is not directly related to our hotel. Let's wait for the doctor to arrive first!"
"What do you mean? Is your hotel trying to shirk responsibility? Such a large hotel can't bear a little responsibility? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at!" Song Mama's voice was particularly loud. She was like someone possessed, no longer aware of what she was doing.
She was simply unable to calm down, wanting only for her mind to keep racing, otherwise, seeing her unconscious son would make her feel dizzy as well.
"Tongtong, what are you looking at?" Liu Yifeng noticed Tongtong staring at Song Yicheng with a complex expression.
Tongtong waved his father over, signaling him to lean in. Liu Yifeng then lowered his head, wanting to hear what Tongtong had to say.
Subsequently, Tongtong whispered something into Liu Yifeng's ear in a voice too soft for others to hear.
After hearing Tongtong's words, Liu Yifeng looked at him in disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he had heard.
Tongtong quietly shook his head. Liu Yifeng instinctively glanced again at Song Yicheng, who was still lying on the floor.
No matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Song Yicheng was faking it. When he had pinched his philtrum so hard earlier, Song Yicheng hadn't reacted at all.
It turned out Tongtong had just told him that Song Yicheng was fine, that he was actually faking his faint.
Liu Yifeng believed Tongtong's words implicitly, trusting that Tongtong wouldn't lie to him. But how had Tongtong figured out that Song Yicheng was faking?
"What are you two talking about? Is something wrong with my son?" Song Mama, seeing the father and son whispering, asked worriedly.
"We're not talking about anything. We're not doctors, and we don't know what's wrong with Yicheng yet." Liu Yifeng thought for a moment and decided to keep Song Yicheng's pretense a secret. Otherwise, given Song Mama's personality, she would immediately make Song Yicheng obediently study, and Song Yicheng would have no good days ahead.
Conversely, if he didn't say anything and Song Mama thought Song Yicheng was truly unconscious, she would become genuinely scared and would no longer push Song Yicheng so hard.
Song Mama wiped her tears. "From now on, I won't let him focus solely on his studies!"
It would be best if you thought that way. In fact, to make children learn happily, a balance between work and rest is most important.
Soon, the ambulance arrived. The doctor gave Song Yicheng a brief examination and found no major problems.
